They look terrific. Very nice work, can't wait to see them painted.
Do you make them from pre-made plans or did you make the plans on your own. Do you have the models to accompany the buildings?

Hello Matrix and Kencelot, thank you for your kind words.

These pieces are not difficult to make. These I made them to prove tools and techniques for a project more complex. The material is a parfumery display that I find in the shop the results are satisfactory.

The process is simple :the house is simply plastic of 1mm of thick. In this I texture the wood using the scriber. The window is glued strips of plastic of different width glued above the other ones. The bridge is also strips of plastic of 3mm thick glued with others until obtaining some wooden beams of an appropriate size.

The planes the drawing myself starting from pictures and later I consult the result with people that can helpme. In case of the house has been revised by a modeller colleague that lives in Moscow and this very interested in architecture. The bridge is of some planes that I found in internet for rail modelling of a wooden bridge.
Other fellows work in susceptible fields susceptible of contributing with their knowledge to this work. A fellow is bridge engineer in our national railroad company and it is of great help. others are architects or they are related with the construction.

these works are for my fellow modellers that want focusing in the vehicle but they also want something original for their scenarios. They make the assembly&paint of the vehicle and I make everything the rest: I design the scene, I choose the figures etc.En some cases these works are to publish in magazines. They sometimes simply want that I makes them a house and they are in charge of of the rest. Me now a while ago that I don't assemble any model I alone make scenarios. But I have interest in returning soon to assemble some vehicle. :-)
